[Dr. Tilman Baumgärtel]

Spike Berlin, Rosa-Luxemburg-Str. 45, 10178 Berlin

SPIKE IS PLEASED TO INVITE YOU TO
"ART WAS ONLY A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE INTERNET."
A ROUNDTABEL DISCUSSION ABOUT NET ART
WITH
TILMAN BAUMGÄRTEL
JOSEPHINE BOSMA
STEPHAN SCHWINGELER

What was net art and what can we learn from it? In the 1990s, the 
Internet offered a chance to redefine the relationship between art, 
theory, politics, and the public. Mostly overlooked by the art world at 
the time, this art movement is coming into clearer focus as the Internet 
turns into a commercialised tool of social control. Moving from the 
currents that accompanied the emergence of net art through ideas of 
hacking and disruption to questions of technological obsolescence, the 
panelists will explore what Net Art has to offer for the situation we 
find ourselves in today.

The panelists include two prominent historians of net art: Tilman 
Baumgärtel, author of "net.art 2.0. New materials for net art" along 
with many other books, and Josephine Bosma, whose publications include 
"Nettitudes: Let’s Talk Net Art." They will be joined by Stephan 
Schwingeler, a curator at the ZKM in Karlsruhe specialised on art and 
video games.

The talk will be moderated by Alex Scrimgeour, an editor at Spike.

Drinks and music until midnight!

“Eine Art Grundlagenwerk”

"Originell... Es sind die vielen Details und Neubewertungen, die an Baumgärtels Kulturgeschichte begeistern."
Thomas Gross, Die Zeit

“Inspirierend”
Groove

“Lesenswert”
Thump/Vice

"Ein immerhin äußerst informatives und lesenswertes Buch über einen tatsächlich bis dato kaum beachteten (oder angesichts von moderner Sample-Technologie zu selbstverständlich genommenen) Eckpfeilers moderner Musikkultur."
Der Freitag

“Though books have been written about the foundations of electronic music, this is the first to focus solely on loops. What’s surprising is that the history of this elemental structure has been so long overlooked.”
National Public Radio (NPR) Berlin
